Hi, Mel

We had chickens at some of the places we lived when I was growing up. One place had copper in the water, and all the eggs had green shells. Another had something different, possibly iron, and the eggs had brown freckles.

My Mom bought eggs from door-to-door sales ladies, who carried the basket of eggs on their heads. She ALWAYS used the water test before she bought any. And again before she used them. The eggs, not the sales ladies!
